| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, upholding the previous decisions of the Lahore High Court and lower courts. The case involved a dispute over the validity of a registered sale-deed executed by a brother on behalf of the petitioner, who had revoked the power of attorney prior to the transaction. The court found that the registered document had sanctity and required stronger evidence to be deemed invalid. The petitioner failed to establish the validity of the power of attorney or the circumstances surrounding the sale, leading to the conclusion that the transaction was a sham and void. |
